It's been a beautiful week! We're all so in love with this weather and I hope it continues into June!
Here's some important things to remember:
* Please be sure your child has sneakers or sandals with a back in school. Sneakers on PE days especially.
* Yesterday an email was sent regarding homework and an end of year project. Also, one about behavior at the end of the year. Please be sure to read them when you can. :)
* On Tuesday, we had an evacuation drill to the Temple. The students did fantastic! We could evacuate for a number of different reasons such as no heat in the building and it's important for students to know where to go and what it would look and feel like. It's the same reason we practice fire drills.
* The Museum of Science field trip is June 8 for the whole day so it's very important your child is here on time and ready to go. A different email will go home next week with specifics.
* Keep June 15th open for a celebration in the morning.
* June 16th will be Color Day.
3, 2, 1 things we've worked on this week…
3 math things we completed were Kojo's Math to begin learning about arrays and groups or sets of numbers, and the Unit 11 and end of year assessment. The end of year assessment will help you know which skills your child can practice over the summer.
2 writing skills we worked on were understanding what a book recommendation is and how to provide support for our opinions.
1 thing Mary wants you to know is that we are reading and writing about biographies on famous people.

Week of 5/22/15
Hi Families!
It's been so nice this week and we love getting outside for recess! Yesterday we enjoyed getting out and letting our butterflies go. It was beautiful to see!
A few important things:
* Our field trip to the Museum of Science is on June 8th, a Monday. More info to come on that.
* Often at this time during the year, we spend a lot of time checking our behavior and making sure we're still on track. Please check in with your child about expected behavior and keeping it together as long as possible! Thanks for your help with this!
* We will be having an end of year celebration on Monday, June 15th first thing in the morning. More details to come!
3, 2, 1 things we've learned this week…
3 math skills we worked on were creating arrays as the first step for multiplication, subtracting money using dollar signs, and working on our addition and subtraction problem solving skills by focusing on the numbers and choosing which strategy would work best.
2 skills we practiced in writing were checking to be sure we have capitals in the correct spot and correct letter formation of our opinion letters.
1 technology project we've been working on is a wordle. Don't know what a wordle is? You'll have to wait till our end of year celebration. ;)
Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!

Week of May 4
It has been beautiful out! Are you all enjoying the weather? I hope so…we have! We've stayed out a little longer at recess to enjoy these temperatures and blue skies! We have had a busy week in room 250! Can you believe there's only 32 more days of school!
Important Information:
- Please remember to put sunscreen on your child before leaving the house in the morning.
- Don't forget to send in sneakers on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for physical education.
- If you child is wearing sandals, please be sure they are sandals that have straps and not flip flops.
3, 2, 1 things you should know about our week…
3 skills we've been working on with our opinion writing are: making our letters about books more interesting by retelling part of the story, keeping our audience in mind by talking to the reader and not giving away the ending, and we started looking at a checklist that will help us be sure we have all the different parts/ideas of an opinion letter. **Ask you child which character or book they are writing about and what their opinion is.
2 take aways from our CAP presentation on Monday were to be sure to say "NO!" if a stranger tries to talk to you or makes you a little nervous. We also talked about sticking up for ourselves and sticking up for our friends.
1 thing Judah wants you to know about this week is we learned different ways to split numbers when adding in math.
